The economy of Sechelt is evolving.  The traditional coastal industries of forestry and fishing remain active.  Tourism, which started in Sechelt in the late 1800’s, is growing and opportunities exist to expand, especially in the adventure, cultural and environmental tourism markets.  As a retail and service centre for the greater Sunshine Coast, Sechelt offers business and employment opportunities. With our focus on sustainability, we support the expansion and attraction of ‘clean’ and knowledge based industry for our community.
